BRITA MAXTRA Water Filter Cartridges - Pack of 3

Very good value for money Arrived when they said they were going to Definitely purchase again

We have been using these water filters cartridges with our water jug for some time now. We used to buy them from our local supermarket until I spotted them here on Amazon - at 80% cheaper!!!!! We live in a hardwater area, and although I admit to being initially sceptical as to their use, thinking they were just another way to get me to part with money on a regular basis, I have been won over and can definitely see that they work! and we would just be buying bottles of water anyway, as our tap water isn't great - no matter what anyone says, even the cats don't like it!! The technical description is that the cartridges reduce limescale, chlorine and impurities, basically they make the water taste better and really cut down on limescale forming in the kettle! Yes, we use the filtered water in our kettle and it has really helped with the limescale, so our kettles our cleaner and lasting much longer. The recommendation is that the cartridge should be changed once a month; we get through about two full jugs of water a day, and store them in bottles in the fridge, so we always have a supplied of filtered cold water, we have found they are actually effective for upto nearly two months, obviously we use more water during the hot summer months, which is when we use about one a month. The cartridges are very easy to install. These cartridges will fit in all BRITA MAXTRA jugs, but do bear in mind you buy the right filters for the right jug (something we didn't initially do!). These filters come in a variety of pack sizes, from individual to four packs, this six pack, and eight, twelve and even twenty packs. I really like this six pack size because we'll hopefully get just about a year out of it; so basically thats about £15 for the year, not too shabby! Overall a very good product, they definitely work and do make a considerable difference to the taste of the water, your cuppa or squash will never have tasted so good!

First off these are great value for money: a 12 pack breaks down as £2.49 per cartridge. Over 30 days that's 8 pence per day. To buy a 1.5 litre bottle of Volvic is about 64p from the supermarket, so that's a saving of 56p per day / £16.80 per month! Not to mention that fact that shop bought plastic bottles contain Phthalates. Although water, in and of itself, does not go bad, the plastic bottle it is contained in does "expire" and will eventually start leaching chemicals into the water. If you look at the expiry dates on bottled water, it's 2 years, so in theory that water could have been sitting on the shelf for that long! For me personally, I like cold fresh water, which I've filtered and from which I know the source. i.e. my kitchen tap! I've been using Maxtra Water Filter Cartridges for 5 years now and won't use anything else. My Brita fridge jug has also stood the test of time and is still going strong. My jug has a set timer which indicates when the cartridge needs replacing. I always make sure to give the jug a good clean each month before inserting the new cartridge. The cartridge is so easy to use. It comes in a sealed plastic bag, which is easy to open and has clear instructions. After I've cleaned the jug, I submerge the filter in water for 30 seconds to ensure it's fully soaked then insert it into the filter hole in the jug. From there I push down gently until I feel it click into place. After I add water and let it filter through, pour away then repeat twice more, close the lid, set the timer and place in the fridge to chill! That's it! Now I have fresh water for the next 30 days and at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost me to buy in the shops. The taste of the filtered water is very clean with no strange aftertaste - I often find that shop bought water has a slight metallic taste and bizarrely sometimes fails to quench my thirst. A truly great product and one that I'll continue to use for years to come. Thanks Brita for making such a quality product.

I am genuinely surprised that I can notice a difference in the taste of filtered water as opposed to that right out the tap, but I CAN and so can my family. So big thumbs up to Brita for that, this is a fantastic product which is superb value if you keep an eye on the offers which are always available to let you stock up on 4 or 6 filters at a time for not much money. However....! I've noticed that no matter how many times I rinse the filter cartridges out before using them they ALWAYS leave little black specks of carbon in the dregs of every single batch I filter. I know they say this is harmless but it's quite unpleasant to see black stuff floating about your drink, especially when it's for your kids, so that's why I give this 4 stars instead of 5. But it's still an excellent product and everyone should be using these!

This product is good and price is also good. But just be careful about amazon prime membership.If amazon asked you to try a trial version of amazon prime, just be careful. If you accept it and the period of the trial is finished you will automatically become a member of amazon prime and amazon will charge you. In UK it is 79 GBP per a year. Apparently they send you an email with instruction on how to cancel your membership but if you don't see the email (like me and my colleague) among so many emails from amazon and don't follow the instruction and cancel your trial amazon prime membership then you become a member automatically. They don't send a paper receipt to your address so you wouldn't notice that they have debited your account. Today I and a colleague of mine noticed that we have been an amazon prime member and our accounts have been debited for 79 GBP. He could refund it but I could not because apparently I was unknowingly using the one day delivery service of amazon prime for the last 10 months, even though I had never used other services like watching movies... I just thought I share this information so that you also double check your account and make sure you are not an amazon prime member against your will.

We have been using these for years and our Bosch kettle is certainly appreciative as there has been no limescale build up over about 4-years of use. Have also recently purchased a Bosch Tassimo coffee maker which has a Brita Maxtra water tank meaning you can use the same cartridges in both the normal water tank and the coffee maker.Have to admit though I tend to swap over the one in the coffee machine once the month indicator comes up and then use it in the water filter which gets more use - after all it has not had much to do with 2 or 3 cups of coffee per day so it seems a waste! Always tend to go a week over the month indicator anyway and the kettle has not shown any impact from this. In terms of purchase the price can fluctuate wildly so I tend to hold one of these in my 'wish list' to get a view as to when the decrease comes along then buy a pack for several months use. The last time of ordering it was for twelve pounds for a pack of 6 so try to aim for something like this. You can recycle old cartridges - simply visit this website (cut and paste) and type in your Postcode. There should be a drop off very close to where you live and also in most major supermarkets: http://www.brita.co.uk/brita/en-GB/cms/dealerfinder/dealerfinder.grid Overall, a great purchase and if you buy at the right time very cost-effective

We are blessed in the UK with probably one of the best, safest water supply systems on the planet. However, there is no doubt that in some parts of the country, it doesn't taste so good, even if it is perfectly safe and healthy. We don't have a water jug because of some misplaced idea that we're otherwise going to die of chemical poisoning, but we do have one because it improves the taste of the water. A glass of water out of the jug tastes noticeably better than straight from the tap. We routinely fill up our bean to cup coffee machine from the jug too. You really can tell the difference. Any hint of a chlorine-type taint is removed. I tend to run a filter for two cycles of the little 4-week timer on the jug, which gets filled several times a day. This doesn't seem to cause any discernible change in the quality of what comes through, just like dates on food I don't see why a filter should be fine after 3.5 weeks but not after 4, I'm sure they would probably be fine even after 3 months. So a pack of 6 will last us a year. This pack of 6 filters for around 15 pounds is by far the best value I can find. The same pack from our online supermarket is usually around 24 pounds.

Bon article

We live in USA and the filter we have is european, different design. This took care of the problem

È il secondo kit da 12 filtri che acquisto per la mia Brita e sono davvero soddisfatto per qualità ovviamente originale Brita, per il prezzo contenuto. Facendo due conti una cassa di acqua in bottiglia da 1,5 litri, quindi 9 litri di acqua, ad una media di 30 centesimi a bottiglia, costa 1,80 euro; in questo caso al prezzo di poco più di due casse ci faccio un mese o 100 litri d'acqua (stimati dal produttore), e bevo l'acqua del rubinetto (che già pago ed è potabile di suo ma con un sapore troppo calcareo e di disinfettante in estate). Risultato: + buono il sapore (quasi neutro) + risparmio - fatica - plastica in giro per il mondo - CO2 derivato dal trasporto dei bancali di acqua da una parte all'altra della nazione. Amazon come sempre impeccabile nei tempi di consegna.

Passt und tut was es soll, das Wasser filtern. Subjektiv schmeckt das Wasser nach dem Filtern besser.

It's good. On time received.
